To redraw them we have this obtuse triangle here so we have these angles as being congruent we have this side being congruent and we have this third side that I haven't marked so we have 1, 2, 3 so we have side side angle and then this other larger triangle that I was able to draw where we have these two angles being congruent cause I kept that fixed, this side was fixed so these two sides must be congruent and this third side because it's a radius of this circle this side must also be congruent but notice we've created two triangles that are not necessarily congruent which is why side side angle is not a shortcut.
The second shortcut that doesn't work is angle angle angle, couple of different ways to look at this one. One way is to say well if we were to extend that side and if we're to extend this side I can construct a line that is parallel to this side right here and what I've done is I've created corresponding and congruent angles because we have two parallel lines and this is the transversal and this side is also a transversal and this third angle here would have to be congruent to itself, so to redraw this we have two triangles where the 3 angles are corresponding but they're definitely not congruent so we have a little bit of overlap here but the idea is that these two triangles are definitely not congruent but their angles are all corresponding and congruent.
The word that we would use for these is similar. But this is not what we're talking about right now because right now we're saying congruence. These two triangles must be exactly identical so the two shortcuts that don't work angle angle angle because we'll create two triangles that'll have different sizes although they're will have same angles and the second one that doesn't work is the side side angle not only because it's a [IB] but also because we create two different triangles.

Finally, after walking your pal through those steps, hit 'em with the efficiency and even more awesome power of AAS, where any two angles and a non-included side can be used to identify congruence between triangles.

The AAS Angle-Angle-Side Theorem Mathematics is a pure science, so you are almost never stopped on the street and challenged to test two triangles for congruence. That's the one we're on! AAS Theorem Your textbook probably calls this a theorem, or it may be labeled a postulate; don't worry about it! AAS Theorem Definition.
The AAS Theorem says : If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. Instructor: Malcolm M.
